More likely to be a problem with drivers than with Win2k itself - I've run
it successfully with a Voodoo3, and later with an nVidia Model 64 graphics
card, both on Windows 2000.

Hmmm, I've only noticed it not working for me when trying to load it in
glide (but with a geforce that's not an issue for you).  Have you tried to
load the gpl.exe file with the "application compatibility tool" that you can
install off the win2000 cd (win2000 support tools)?  Perhaps a memory issue?
Can you log on as a new user (setup with minimal programs running in the
background) and then try it?  Or even minimize GPL (before it crashes) and
increase CPU utilization on the executible file?

Just some ideas,
Don
